In jumbled sentences, the sentences are not supplied in proper arranged manner.
The sentences are jumbled up, made complex so as to make the students confused.
There is not any set rule to work out these problems, but only practice.
You have to be aware of the sense indicated in the jumbled phrases and parts of sentence so as to make out their correct meaning.

However, although, since the time, in context to, prior to, etc. are terms that help to link sentences.
Look out for quick clues, such as pronouns, conjunction, etc. in the beginning of sentences to help you establish a sequence. v In choices that are closely related, identify a mandatory pair of sentences (two sentences that should form a sequence).

It is essential that you look at the jumbled phrases, comprehend the meaning implied and put the sentence in order.
Be cool, have patience and work out correctly.
Avoid reading the sentences closely as it will be a waste of time.
Inspect the choices; if each of the choices begins with different letters, identifying the sentence to begin the sequence leads to the correct answer.
In four sentences variety, work backward from sentence 4 if there is no obvious clue to work from sentence 1; many a time we overlook the hints that may be available.
